Dangun Feveron (PS4)

I've taken on the perhaps suicidal task of playing this in order to review it for you lovely folk. It's a Japan-only D/L to my knowledge and I can safely say it's one of the most bonkers games I've ever played.

Does anybody else have it, and if so do you have any tips for a beginner? From what I gather, it is one of the most difficult Cave titles. I am playing it under the original arcade settings with the option to continue switched off. I've considered trying it wearing PSVR, but I fear my cranium may explode.

It is indeed very silly; I've not played for a number of years (we had a PCB kicking about briefly), but I don't remember too much of it. There's a strat thread on Shmups here which you might be able to glean some juicy nuggets from.

I bought it on release and have been playing it on and off in short bursts, because time's a bit tight at the mo. I've got absolutely no idea about the scoring system for the time being, but I'll have a gander at that Shmups thread.

Beyond that, it's standard Cave fare, but also a marked change of direction, at least stylistically. I actually quite like the disco theme and it makes a nice change from mechas and sexualised schoolgirls.

I've never played any of them so I don't know, but is Dangun somehow inspired by/an homage to the Cho Aniki games? There seems to be a common theme of not taking things too seriously.

I've played this on Mame Emulator. It was one of the continuing rotation of Cave Shmups I'd play. It's great. I seem to remember it having good sound. The opening 'DANGUN FEVERON!' has to be one of the Loudest introductions in videogame history. 😂
